Genomics is an interdisciplinary field of biology that focuses on the structure, function, evolution, mapping, and editing of genomes. A genome is an organism’s complete set of DNA, including all of its genes as well as its hierarchical, three-dimensional structural configuration. Genomics differs from genetics, which refers to the study of individual genes and their

CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats) technology has emerged as a revolutionary tool for genome editing, enabling scientists to probe biological function, dissect genetic mechanisms, and potentially treat diseases. This technology, for which biochemists Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry, has garnered significant attention due to its potential,

Metagenomics is the study of genetic material recovered directly from environmental or clinical samples by a method called sequencing. The broad field may also be referred to as environmental genomics, ecogenomics, community genomics, or microbiomics. Metagenomics is often used to study a specific community of microorganisms, such as those residing on human skin, in the
